The models are listed as tablets running iOS 11, and that’s really the only information available so far.

The EEC requires companies register new devices that use encryption before they’re released. The commission regulates sales of electronics in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.

This isn’t the first time new Apple products are registered with the ECC. The Airpods and iPhone 7 both appeared in the database ahead of their official release. Product registration usually happens a month prior to any official launch, so this leads us to think a roll out is likely in March.

With the arrival of the iPhone X, there’s been speculation that the iPad update, scheduled for later this year, is going to be given similar treatment. That means we can expect the new iPad to be home button-less and bevel-less. Fun.

It’s not looking like these new device registrations are not the fancy, revamped iPads slated to borrow features from Apple’s 10th Anniversary phone. It seems more likely that these will be the updated and cheaper versions of the tablets launched in March 2017.
